Exploration of shape, colour and pattern, and the relationship between each. Inspired by a trip to Lisbon and the beautiful pastel architecture, streets adorned with traditional azulejos (tiles) and organic patterns found in the sunset skylines. 

A photograph of the early Lisbon sunrise. The colours in this photograph are what inspired the entire project.
